Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Art+Feminism Edit-a-Thon @ the Jake

Hi Luiza Wainer and Ajraddatz. Thanks for submitting this grant application and all your efforts to organize the event! We have a few questions below and look forward to your response.

1. It looks like you organized a similar event in March at the University of Washington. It would be great to hear your reflections on how that event went. Are there any learnings from that experience that will influence how you organize this next editathon?
2. It's great that you will be holding a pre-event workshop for folks to learn editing skills before the editathon and we are curious to know what kind of engagement you receive.
3. You say in the proposal that depending on the level of interest and attendance you hope to do this event quarterly. While one-off editathons can be successful in terms of awareness building and also generating high quality content if there are a lot of experienced editors participating, regular events are much more successful in engaging new editors. We'd be happy to talk with you more about setting up regular events if there is interest in it.
4. Since Ajraddatz wrote the grant proposal, it would be helpful to know what the division of responsibilities are.
5. Offering childcare is very thoughtful and supports inclusivity. Will you be getting a sense of how many folks may need childcare before booking their services?

Again, thanks for your efforts in putting this together! Cheers, Alex Wang (WMF) (talk) 03:39, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

I'm not involved here - I just created the page since it was being blocked by an edit filter. – Ajraddatz (talk) 06:54, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
